In a time of Brexit uncertainty, Take That are doing a pretty stellar job at uniting the UK.
The bands 30th anniversary tour is already one of the most anticipated gigs of 2019, and now Gary Barlow and co have promised an extra treat for those who havent managed to get their hands on tickets: an hour-long TV special starring Bee Gees singer Barry Gibb.
Hardcore TT fans will already know that the band famously covered the Bee Gees How Deep Is Your Love in 1996, and its believed they will record a new version of the song featuring the 72-year-old.
A source told The Sun: Barry may not be your typical boy band member but hes a British music legend.
Obviously the Bee Gees influenced Take Thats early years massively.

The lads cannot wait to get in the studio.
Earlier this month Gary revealed that the band are putting a new spin on their classic hits, along with some new singles.
Our Greatest hits album is now finished and mastered, he tweeted. Every track has had a face lift. Some have been completely re recorded. 3 brand new songs. Theres guests and lots of interesting links between songs. What a journey #TT30.

The recording process is believed to have been filmed for an hour-long Take That special on BBC One. Gary Barlow, Mark Owen and Howard Donald will all star in the show later this year, with producers apparently hoping Robbie Williams will make an appearance, too.
The special will feature unseen footage of the band, some of it shot by them. They said: Weve handed over our own personal camcorders from the 90s and asked fans to share their stories.
More Robbie, Gary and the band circa 1990s? So on board with this.
